What is the Rapid Access Distribution Network?

We are the manufacturer. Our UK distribution network gives contractors and project teams fast, local access to specification-compliant products without compromising on performance, documentation or technical support. Partners hold core stock ranges and can source bespoke or project-specific items directly from our UK manufacturing facility — typically within 4 working days. Our technical support, design services and on-site support remain available through every partner.
